Washington Vote for Same-Sex Marriage Will Be a Squeaker

The push for same-sex marriage in Washington is a nail-biter that's down to the wire. Despite impassioned support from Governor Gregoire and now President Obama, the push to support Referendum 74 is getting tighter and tighter.

Oregon's LGBT leaders decided not to push for gay marriage on the ballot in the Beaver State precisely because they were worried about losing a squeaker election like this. But if you support equal rights for all Americans—regardless of who they sleep with—now would be the time to get your rear in gear and volunteer.
